Can we please get a new topic for each release?

 

1) Ensures that the issues reported are specific to that version;

2) Allows someone to download older versions from the desired topic;

3) Communication of a newer version can always be posted on the old version's topic to notify users.

4) It's a good practice and common with other vendors;

5) Also common is to have one sticky topic with all the posted versions, and the link to the latest.

 

Also, I don't see the release notes from this latest version 3.2.6 on this topic or in the TP-Link download center.

Hello @LucianoR,

 

you mean a new thread for every new version? No. This thread is sticky and just the topic changes. If I would open a new thread, it would disappear from this page after only few other new posts and could not be found easily by people not reading on a daily base here.

 

Please note that I am not from TP-Link and this community version of Omada Controller is not endorsed by TP-Link either.

 

This packaging of the community version is done voluntarily by me and since just the topic and the download filename changes for each new version, it makes not much sense to repeat the same text over different threads again and again as it was done in the past.

 

As for the older versions I don't recommend using them except for EAP controller v2.7 if you have older EAP hardware. In threads for the legacy EAP controller version 2.7 and older I already add links to this thread with the latest version.

 

If you think it would be useful to have links to the older download packages in this thread too, I could append a list of outdated packages at the end of the post if you like. But note that I won't keep every old version on my server since in the past some people did download all and every packages despite they finally used only the latest one.

 

As for the release notes you are right, they should be included in the post. I have added them. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

As for issues with the software: Feel free to open a new thread if you found issues with any version of Omada Controller – since the community version contains exactly the same software (except that it avoids the bundled binaries from the TP-Link version and adds improved scripts for the start/stop mechanism), allmost all issues always apply to all versions, not just the community version. The only difference between both versions is omadactl in the community version versus control.sh in the official version for managing the controller and the absence of binaries (jre, monogd) which makes the community version package architecture-independent.

 

Alternatetively you can add any issue with the software to this thread, but to reach more readers a new thread would be better.

@R1D2 Okay, I understand your arguments and won't debate that - I have a difference of opinion but I respect your perspective. And the products (EAP225v3 and the Omada controller) are great.

 

I just upgraded the Omada Controller from 3.2.4 to 3.2.6, after you published the release notes. Thank you for that.

@LucianoR, you're welcome.

 

My goal was (and still is) that TP-Link adds some modifications to their official version from my community version (they did already accept some suggestions, but not all), so in the end they could release a single architecture-independent version suitable for UNIX and Linux no matter whether based on x86, x86_64, arm, mips etc. theirself. They then could post separate announcements and make those posts sticky, what I as a plain user can't do.

@Ferse, try passive mode in FTP and avoid browser-based FTP clients. The FTP directory intentionally can not be listed, but graphical FTP clients always try to do so. It's best to use the FTP command line utility on your Linux system.

 

Note that this version of Omada Controller won't install nor run on Windows (just in case you intend to use it there).

@R1D2 I could not by command line either and the FTP server banned me. Can you help me by downloading the debian package and sending it to the mail

@Ferse I can confirm it worked fine on my freeBSD based FTP client (that's what I had around :))

 

Try this

ftp ftp.rent-a-guru.de

 

login: anonymous

password: <your email>

 

cd private

get omada-controller_3.2.6-1_all.deb

 

I can confirm, it doesn't work over wget on debian or ftp on windows.

 

As the file is 44mb, it's unlikely it can be attached to an email.
